To prepare the fillet in a hazelnut crust with orange and rum reduction, brush the slices of beef fillet with honey, then adhere the crushed hazelnuts mixed with the orange zest and the chopped fennel beard, pressing lightly with the tip of the fingers. Heat a generous knob of butter in a pan, arrange the slices of fillet and brown them for about three minutes on each side (they should remain pink in the center). Season with salt and pepper, remove the slices of fillet from the heat and set them aside on the heat.


Prepare the reduction: in the same saucepan, pour the rum, orange juice, a knob of butter, turn up the heat and let reduce until a narrow base is obtained.

Cover the serving dishes with the reduction, spread over the meat and serve the fillet in a hazelnut crust with an orange and rum reduction, accompanied by two slices of peeled orange and a little fennel beard.
